Justice sensitivity and source memory for cheaters
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present experiment examines how sensitivity to injustice from the observer perspective influences memory for faces associated with descriptions of cheating, trustworthy, or irrelevant behavior. The source memory advantage for faces of cheaters observed in previous studies, that is, better memory for the cheating context in which these faces were encountered, was replicated in a group with high observer sensitivity, but not in a group with low observer sensitivity. The results show that individual differences in the sensitivity to injustice lead to differences in cognitive processing of injustice-related information. It is concluded that the concept of justice sensitivity may provide a useful tool for the examination of the cognitive–emotional mechanisms underlying social exchange. 2010 Elsevier Inc.

Here, we present four experiments showing that old–new discrimination was not affected by whether a face was associated with a history of cheating, trustworthy or irrelevant behavior. In contrast, source memory for f...
